Buffalo Chicken Fried Ravioli

These buffalo chicken fried ravioli were supposed to be buffalo chicken wontons, but apparently if you go looking for wonton wrappers the day before Super Bowl Sunday, even if you go to three different stores, you might not find any. For some reason, even though every store was out of wonton wrappers, they all seemed to have egg roll wraps, so I decided to improvise, having already bought everything else I needed to make some sort of buffalo chicken appetizer.
I cut two large circles out of each egg roll wrap and topped half of the circles with my buffalo chicken filling. Then I pressed and sealed the remaining wrappers on top to form ravioli. I quickly fried the ravioli in hot oil on each side and then served them with celery sticks and blue cheese dip. The ravioli were crispy on the outside and filled with spicy chicken and gooey, melty cheese. We enjoyed them while watching the game, but they'd be a hit at any party!

Meanwhile, fill a small bowl with water and lay egg roll wrapper circles out on cutting board (work in batches).

Top half of the circles with a spoonful of buffalo chicken mixture. Dip your finger in the water and trace the outline of the circles and press a filled wrapper and an empty wrapper together, making sure to seal edges.

Repeat with remaining circles and remaining buffalo chicken mixture.

Line a large plate with paper towels. Fry the ravioli, 4 at a time, for about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown.
